Title: A Process for the Preparation of Threads, Films and Laminæ from Viscose.
Inventor: PEESSARER SERGIUS
Filed: 1905-08-15
Granted: 1906-06-14
Abstract: 16,583. Feessarer, S. Aug. 15. Viscose.-In the preparation of threads, films, and laminµ from a solution of viscose, salts of organic bases such as aniline, naphthylamine, pyridine, &c. are employed to convert the soluble viscose into an insoluble cellulose. The threads &c. may be dyed simultaneously with the manufacture. The viscose dissolved in water, e.g. an 8 per cent filtered solution, is squirted or spread to the required form into a solution of the salt or salts, e.g. 15 per cent of aniline hydro-chloride in water, and is thereby transformed into a insoluble jelly, at the same time retaining its form. Salts suitable for the treatment of fresh viscose are recovered from the solution resulting from the reaction by saturation with suitable acid vapour or by gradual addition of the acid. The threads so produced are passed through one or more water-baths and then dried, preferably by passing over a heated plate. Litmus or phenolphthalein may be added to the fixing solution to indicate the state of the reaction. When dyeing, e.g. aniline black, a small quantity of sodium vanadate, e.g. À00001 per cent, is added to the viscose solution prior to squirting, and the formed threads are passed through the following baths : (1) a saturated solution of an aniline salt and aniline, the saturation being effected by sodium chloride or salt of similar action, (2) a solution of sodium chlorate and acid in proportion to convert the aniline into aniline black, sodium chloride being added to prevent decomposition of the aniline ; separate baths of chlorate and acid respectively may be used. The product is then treated with hot water or steam, washed in water containing a little lime, and dried. Napbthylamine employed in place of aniline gives brown shades.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Winding Wire Yarn, or the like on to Reels.
Inventor: ANDERSON JOHN
Filed: 1905-11-20
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 23,918. Anderson, J. Nov. 20. Wire.-Relates to a machine for winding wire, yarn, and the like on to reels to be used in the manufacture of rope or otherwise. To ensure even winding, adjacent coils are pressed together by means of an expansible shoe-plate comprising a number of shoes traversed by the progressive movement of the coils. Provision is also made for stopping the machine should the wire &c. become entangled, and also when the reel is full. The wire &c. is passed around a guide-pulley l, Fig. 3, carried on an arm l<1>, and over two other guidepulleys m, m<1> carried by a swinging frame i pivoted to arms i<1> on the base-plate a ; it then passes around a pulley n and through an adjustable-spring tension-device o, Fig. 6, and a guide o<1> on to the reel b. Sliding on a rod j carried by the swinging frame i is a sleeve j<1>, Fig. 5, provided with an adjustable friction plate K ; to this sleeve is connected a forked arm j<2> carrying shoes j<4> adapted to bear upon the periphery of the reel. The shoes are pushed along as the winding proceeds till they reach the flange of the reel, when, the coils passing underneath, their bevelled edges come into contact' with the flange and reverse the traverse. The two parts of the driving-clutch e, f are held in connexion by means of the rod g<2>, which is locked in position against a spring s by a notch r in a rod r<1>. Should the wire become entangled and so be unduly strained, the arm l<1> carrying the guide-pulley l is raised and its cranked portion l<2> lifts the rod r out of engagement with another rod thereby throwing the driving-clutch out of gear. When the reel is full, a tappet r<4> comes into contact with a collar r<3> fixed to a rod r<2> attached to the bar r', thereby raising the latter and stopping the machine. If desired, two or more shoe -plates may be used travelling on separate rods and yoked to a common centre.

Title: Improvements in Stop Motion for Looms.
Inventor: O'DONNELL FELIX
Filed: 1906-03-23
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 7038. O'Donnell, r., and Brown, S. A. March 23. Loom stop motions ; warp tension, regulating ; back - bearers; temples. -When the shuttle is trapped in the shed, it is pressed against the warps as the lay moves forwards, and the resultant tension on the warps causes the back-bearer 8, Fig. 3, to be turned forwards from the position in which it is normally held by a spring-pressed bolt 15, on a lever 14 secured to the bearer shaft, engaging a notch 17 in a fixed plate 18. The bolt 15 is moved out of the notch, and the lever 14 is moved against a stop 23. A pin 20, on an horizontal arm 19 of the lever, moves a pivoted lever 27 against the action of a spring 29, so that a tooth 26 on the lever is disengaged from a notch 25 in a pivoted segment 21, which is thereupon moved by a spring 32, and acts through a rod 33 and pivoted levers 34, 35, Fig. 6, to free the shipper lever 5 from its notch and to stop the loom. The temples 35<a> are mounted on spring-pressed sliding rods, and, if the shuttle is trapped opposite one of the temples, the latter is moved forwards as the lay beats up, and a projection 37 on its rod moves a lever 38 secured to the shaft 39 on which the lever 34 is fixed, so that the loom is stopped. If the temple roll becomes clogged and will not rotate, the temple is drawn forwards by the fabric and the loom is stopped as before.

Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 12,597. Bruncken, J. May 30. Armatures; commutators; motors, controlling.- Relates to a method of starting single-phase induction motors in any position, based on the principle that a closed conductor situated in a magnetic field produced by an alternating current tends to set itself in the direction of the lines of force, and consists in winding the rotor with one or more two-phase windings and connecting one end of each phase winding to a common slip-ring and the other end to a commutator ring on which bears a brush connected through variable resistance to the slip-ring. As applied to a two-pole motor, one end of each of the windings a, b, c, d, Fig. 2, is connected to the slip-ring e, and the other ends to the segments f, g, h, i of two commutator rings, the number of commutator segments on each ring corresponding to the number of stator poles. The two commutator pieces f, g are insulated from each other by a ring having projections of such a width that the brush k or l cannot simultaneously touch both segments f, g or h, i. In Fig. 4, which represents a complete starter, secondary brushes o, p are so arranged on the commutator rings that each of the commutator segments is always under one of the three brushes. An extra commutator ring is employed for each two-phase winding.

Abstract: 18,486. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. Aug. 19, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Current and quantity meters.-Relates to time switches for use in connexion with an electricity meter for indicating the maximum consumption during a predetermined time. The maximum pointer of the meter is connected with the armature of an electro-magnet controlled by the time switch. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the maximum pointer a is disconnected when the electromagnet b is without current and releases the armature c. The time switch comprises two levers h, i mounted on pivots k, l, and pressed by springs m, n against disks d, e. The disk d rotates once during the time of maximum-consumption registration, and the disk e, which consists of displaceable sectors, rotates once in twenty-four hours. Contacts r, s on the levers h, i are closed when the end p of the lever i drops into the recess g, the electromagnet b being excited and the maximum pointer coupled with the meter. After each revolution of the disk, the end o of the lever h drops into a recess f and a lever h turns round the pivot k and opens the contacts r, s for a short time, thus disconnecting the maximum indicator and allowing its driving-member to be returned to the zero position by a spring or by gravity. When the end p of the lever i leaves the recess g, the lever i is turned into the position shown by dotted lines and the contacts r, s remain open. In a modification of the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the switch is arranged to short-circuit the magnet winding and the contacts r, s are opened when the end p of the lever i drops into the recess g. In the form shown in Fig. 3, which shows the maximum pointer a disconnected, the registration of maximum consumption takes place only during the time in which the end p of the lever i rubs on the circumference of the disk e. After each revolution of the disk d, a projection f thereon turns the arm p and closes the contacts r, s for a short time and disconnects the maximum pointer.

Title: Improvements relating to Electric Incandescent Lamps.
Inventor: LEDERER ANTON
Filed: 1906-11-06
Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 24,973. Lederer, A. Nov. 6. Incandescent lamps. - Filaments of tungsten, molybdenum, or their allovs, are equalized by heating them, e.g. electrically, in the vapour of halogens or suitable halogen compounds, at a low pressure. Metal is then transported from the thicker to the thinner portions of the filaments, by the formation and decomposition of volatile metallic halogen compounds. The treatment may be carried out in the lamp bulb, by filling it with attenuated halogen vapour, in some cases diluted with inert gas. Equalization then continues during the use of the lamp. When a separate vessel is used for the treatment, halogen compounds such as sulphur chloride may be used, which yield halogens on evaporation or decomposition.

Title: Improved Method of Producing Undamped Electrical Oscillations.
Inventor: EISENSTEIN SIMON
Filed: 1907-03-05
Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 5334. Eisenstein, S. March 5. Telegraphs.-In a method of producing electric oscillations by the use of the Duddell oscillatory circuit, a monophase or polyphase alternating current is used to feed an arc having two or more positive electrodes arranged in such a manner that the arc is formed between the negative electrode and the several positive electrodes successively, so that the latter are subjected only to a temporary heating and may be readily cooled. When a monophase current is used, the positive metal electrodes 2, 3, Fig. 1, are connected to the ends of a transformer winding or choking-coil 4, supplied with current from the alternator A. The negative carbon electrode 1 is connected through a choking-coil 1<a> to the mid-point of the coil 4. Capacities 6, 7 and an inductance 8 complete the oscillatory circuit. It is found that an arc is more readily formed between that metal electrode which is momentarily positive and the carbon electrode, than between the two metal electrodes. When polyphase current is used, the positive metal electrodes 11, 12, 13, Fig. 2, are connected to the ends of a polyphase transformer 4, and the negative electrode 1 is connected to its middle point 5. Separate condensers 14, 15, 16, and a common inductance 8 are provided for each positive electrode. The electrodes may be arranged in hydrogenous or compressed gases, in vacuo, under insulating-liquids, or in heated and aerated media.
